Dynamic Output In-DB Tool

The Dynamic Output In-DB tool outputs information about the In-DB workflow to a standard workflow for Predictive In-DB.

The Dynamic Output In-DB tool is used in conjunction with the Dynamic Input In-DB Tool when creating an In-DB macro for predictive analysis. The Dynamic Output In-DB tool can take the metadata from the In-DB query and pass it into a standard workflow with predictive tools.

In-Database enables blending and analysis against large sets of data without moving the data out of a database and can provide significant performance improvements over traditional analysis methods. For more about the In-Database tool category, see In-Database Overview.

To use this tool select an appropriate data source and select the "Allow Decryption of Password" Password Encryption option in Manage In-DB Connections.

To resolve the error, modify the original connection string by changing the Password Encryption option to "Allow Decryption of Password" so that the password is decrypted in the metadata.
